I thought this would be fun to start, just a thread about little things that bug us about our trucks. Example- noises, ticks, squeaks etc....

Mine is this, I have a small flat spot on my driver side rear tire that I can feel at low speeds! Drives me mad, can't afford new tires yet so I just deal with it. And a small squeak/chirp in my passenger door I can't find! I've had the door completely apart and back together twice and still there... Lets hear some others!! :)

I gotta agree with this. When wet anything more then 10% throttle will spin tires. And when your at a stop on a hill going up it, forget about it, all it does is spin.

Otherwise i love my truck.

Rattling cupholders.

This doesn't really concern the truck, but girlfriend has this purse that squeaks with every bump in the road. It gets me every time. I have a minor freak-out, until I'm reminded of what it is.

I wish it came with a better sounding exhaust. They should come with the mufflex 18 stock.

It drives me crazy that the oil pressure gauge reads high - did so on my 2010 and now on my 2012. The guy at the service department told me it's "normal."

Is that only on the gen 4 rams? My 2005 reads half way all the time.

Not sure... my 2nd gen always read slightly under and the 4ths I've had read slightly over. Not sure about the 3rd gens.

Every time I go over a decent sized bump something bangs under my truck. It almost sounds like my bed is hitting my cab but I've checked everywhere to see if there any paint missing or anything and nothing'***** anywhere. No scratches or paint missing and I have no idea what it could be. It freaks me out

This reminds me...everytime I hit a significant bump, my grill makes some noise. Kind of annoying.
